Van's Appearances & Speaking Events

Over the years Van has earned his reputation as a well-known broadcaster and great speaker. He continues to share his passion for radio, God and Iowa by speaking or broadcasting at local events. He's often asked to speak about radio, faith, his inventions, his books, his experiences with famous people and tell his funny and emotional stories. Is he still accepting speaking engagements? Yes, under certain circumstances. You can see Van at one of his appearances coming up listed below! 

AND!!! Another Van Harden authored book has just been released!  It has proven to be a hot item, not only locally, but all across the nation. And there has been international interest.  People said there could never be anything else revealed about Jesus, but Van has shown extremely important biblical facts about Jesus's background he says the church has done a very poor job of teaching, which is a shame since the information is foundational to know who Jesus really is.   Van has been an adult Bible teacher for over 45 years. You can see the book, hear Van read the first chapter, and even order it with one click , in the "Books" category of this website!
